I am quite puzzled, intrigued, ignorant and feeling quite cheated actually! Exacerbated by the fact that I have woken up grumpy and with a headache!
Just read that RTA has started auctions for M coded 4 and 5 digit number plates.
Mohammed Abdul Kareem Nimaat, Director of RTA Vehicles Licensing "This auction promises to be exceptional as it features the debut of the ‘M' code; which is one of the most sought-after and popular codes judging by the recurrent inquiries frequently received from the public about the release of this code."
It appears that M is quite a popular alphabet for number plates as is "K". I understand if I wanted my car number plate to be "M" - personalised with my initials and all that jazz, but why M for the public at large? Lucky M? Dunno! Puzzled!
Plates bearing ‘K' code have also been in high demand with clearance rate posted as high as 70 per cent; which prompted RTA to consider issuing a new code. I can understand wanting easy numbers like 10000 or 55555 or your birth date or anniversary date but not sure if its fashionable /superstition or what that prompts this fascination for certain alphabets! Intrigued!
RTA website talks about "distinguished number plates" with code M. I mean its a number plate, how distinguished can it get?
Being the ultimate ignoramus, I obviously was completely unaware that you could chose your number plate - may have ended up with something far more exotic than my current one which is a nightmare to even remember with not even one number repeated and in some random order! I am perennially walking back to check the number while paying parking - clearly, am numerically challenged!
They actually hold an auction for which you need to put down a deposit of Dhs 5000, have a "file" with RTA, and bid for the number plate you want. I believe the 73rd number plate auction in October 2011, collected Dhs 21 million for coveted "distinguished" number plates with just 124 bidders across categories! J-90 got sold for Dhs 1.24 million :-( Huh?
So far so good,but why didn't they tell me about this when I got my number plate done? Then I might have had a distinguished one with my initials and the number of petunias in my garden on my number plate!
P.S. I am still trying to get the "distinguished"bit?
